Fun, Delicious, Vegan Cooking Class in Hoi An

I loved this. Chickpea Eatery is a family-run vegan restaurant who do well structured, fun Vietnamese cooking classes including a trip to the market. The sisters who run it are very knowledgeable and friendly, and have designed menus that are easy but delicious. They walk the walk and support local animals as well as educating you on vegan choices. Not all of us were vegan but we all had a great time. Thank you Chickpeazzze

Amazing cooking class experience

They go above and beyond to share their culture both through food and through meeting local vendors. Highlights for me included going to the market, trying new fruits and trying a local drink in the area. The food tasted amazing and we felt extremely welcome. Unforgettable experience for us travelling in Vietnam!

If you visit one restaurant in Hoi An, visit here

Hidden away from the busy streets of Hoi An is this gem of a restaurant. The food is amazing, very tasteful and fresh, and clearly a labour of love. The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and helpful, everyone speaks perfect English. The restaurant is situated in a nice garden where you can enjoy the quiet for a bit while having dinner.

We also took Chickpea Eatery's vegan cooking class, which was an experience well beyond my expectations. We went to the market for fresh ingredients, then prepared various veganised Vietnamese staple dishes with clear guidance from all the Chickpea sisters. We brought our 4-year-old, who could tag along the workshop and share our meals. All in all, the workshop is so worth it; for the cooking, for the eating, for getting more acquainted with the Vietnamese culture. Absolutely loved it.

Pros: Amazing food, Nice and relaxed atmosphere, Quiet oasis away from the bustle

came back the next day!

The food is really good, lots of options and not too expensive. I went by myself one evening at 8 and got a table, everyone who came later they turned away so make sure not to go there too close to closing time (9pm). The staff was really nice and even gave me a piece of chocolate for free. Went back the next day with non-vegan friends and everyone liked their food😄

Pros: lots of choices, healthy, no added sugar!

Food, staff and atmosphere is wonderful

It's a wonderful little restaurant at the end of an alley with a great atmosphere. This is a local family restaurant and the recipes are their own. Food is wonderful, so are the prices and above all so is the staff. Loved it, will be back.

Best meal in Vietnam so far

We loved not worrying about checking for dairy and eggs. The food was AMAZING and we plan on going back before we leave Hoi An as it was so good and a great price. The desserts and smooties were also really yummy. The staff were super friendly too ❤

Pros: Lots of options , Desserts!!!, Smoothies

Cons: Too cute ;)

Service wasn’t the best

I think we maybe caught them on a bad day. The service was very slow and a bit haphazard. It took about 20 mins for them to clear our table and bring water. They brought out cake first (which I ended up eating as was hungry waiting), then coffees and then the meals. The food was good. The cake was a bit dry. The ‘chicken’ was a very small portion & overall the flavours were ok. Given other reviews maybe they were just having an off day.

Ein MUSS in Hoi An

Komplett Veganes Restaurant mit traditionellen Speisen veganisiert. Die Atmosphäre war super schön, dadurch dass es etwas versteckt war im Hinterhof. Die Inhaber waren total nett und wir haben uns so wohl gefühlt. Auch nach mehrmaligen Besuchen konnten wir nicht genug bekommen. Können es wirklich sehr empfehlen

Beautiful vegan cafè

Such a sweet little place! 100% vegan & lots of options on the menu, both Vietnamese and Western. I ordered the ice latte & spinach quesadilla which comes with a lovely cashew mayo! It’s pricier than other places but definitely recommend😄

Great vegan chicken !

I had a turmeric latte and the vegan chicken rice. The chicken was really delicious and convincing if you want a substitute. Prices are reasonable too. Atmosphere nice too. Would recommend if you want a relaxing meal away from the main streets.

Just excellent

This vegan restaurant is just awesome. The location is quiet, hidden away from the louder main streets. The hand-written menus and general set up is lovely and very welcoming.

The drinks are quite good (the choco lover smoothie could do with more liquid) but the food is really excellent. They prepare many mock versions of local classics and also some of the best hummus I’ve ever tried. Over the course of a few days, I tried many of their dishes and nothing disappointed. The Cao Lau was definitely my favourite though!

Pros: Fully vegan

Cute Restaurant with great food

100% vegan restaurant in a quiet alley. The place is really pretty and the staff really friendly. The food is a combination of traditional Vietnamese and western fusion (they have vegan cheese!). I highly recommend this place if you are in Hoi an.

Pros: Traditional food made vegan

Cute hidden café

The food was soo good! Many traditional vietnamese but also western options, the coffee banana bread combo is brilliant. There were healthy chickens running around and rolling in the sand, I don’t know if they are rescue chucks but they seemed to be taken care of very well. It is a bit hard to find though, you have to walk down a narrow alley all the way to the back where you find this cute oasis.

Pros: Traditional Vietnamese food made vegan, Friendly staff & good English , Free water and affordable in general

Incredible

Chickpea Eatery has some amazing options and everything we tried pulled through. The cauliflower pasta was our favourite, the beef sandwich whilst messy to eat was insane. As were the drinks. The staff, chickens and location were lovely.

absolutely insane

we've been there for brunch and i had the falafel sandwich. it was a bit expensive (95k dong) but totally worth the money. best sandwich i had in my entire life and better than any banh mi. we shared the banana bread (40k) for dessert and it was delicious as well.

Bao buns

We ordered the bao buns and the "chicken" rice everything was beautiful, the bao buns aren't as big as they look in the pictures, for a snack they are perfect. We ordered 2 portions as they where so delightful. Very clean food which is very well balanced with taste. Would recommend.

Excellent Vietnamese food

Brilliant vegan food in Hoi An! We had the super tasty Bao Buns and the vegan chicken & rice - all super wholesome and very tasty! They are a small family run business but you will not be disappointed with the amazing tasting food. When busy, it can take a while for food to come but it’s worth the wait!

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Very sweet family owned business, Delicious

Cons: Wait time for food when they are busy

Amazing traditional food

Menu is traditional Vietnamese and they also have some fusion dishes.
I had the pancake and bao buns. Both were really good and the staff taught me how to eat the pancake in the traditional way which was really nice of them!
Good prices too.
They had some amazing looking cakes but sadly I was too full to order! If I’m ever back in Hoi An I’ll definitely come back here. 10/10

Pros: Amazing food, Great staff, Good prices
